This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience, build a strong understanding of marine operations, and develop a solid foundation as a Project Engineer. The positions will primarily focus on Mooring, Subsea Construction and Decommissioning, but may also involve work within IMR, SURF, and Offshore Wind.

We have recently moved into our offices in the brand new Caiano building at Smedasundet, creating a great environment for collaboration and future growth – and are now looking for you to join us on this journey.

As a Graduate Engineer in DOF you'll be at the forefront of marine operations

Our Graduate programme is a two-year programme where the goal is to give you a strong foundation as a Project Engineer.
As part of our engineering department, you will plan and execute marine operations in the Atlantic Region and support projects in other regions – with good support in a positive, innovative environment with highly educated and skilled colleagues.

• Collaborate closely with experienced engineers and offshore personnel
• Gain exposure to projects from early-phase planning through offshore execution
• Be supported by a dedicated mentor and experienced colleagues

We only hire a limited number of graduates each year to ensure you receive the attention, support and development you need. We focus on your individual strengths and aim to create a positive start, so you feel confident and settled from day one. You will have the opportunity to go offshore early in the programme, to gain first-hand experience on our vessels and being part of the team delivering operations.

We are a value-driven organisation with clear guiding principles to meet project and Client expectations with strong understanding and commitment to HSEQ standards. Our core values: Respect, Integrity, Teamwork, Excellence, and Safety.

Requirements:
